Planning Fees

Why I Charge Planning Fees

At Ship Happens Travel Co.™, every trip is custom-crafted — not cookie-cutter. ✨

Behind the scenes, I spend hours comparing ships, cabins, and itineraries, researching excursions, monitoring promotions, and making sure every detail lines up with your travel style. My planning fees reflect:


  • Expertise & Experience – Years of hands-on cruise and travel knowledge, so you don’t waste time or money on the wrong choice.

  • Time & Detail – From embarkation hacks to insider perks, I do the heavy lifting so you can simply enjoy.

  • Personalized Support – I’m here before, during, and after your trip. If things change, you’ve got a trusted advocate.

  • Transparency – Instead of “hidden costs,” I’m upfront about what my professional service covers.


Think of it like investing in a concierge: your vacation is too valuable to leave to chance.


Your memories are priceless — my planning ensures they’re seamless. 🌊🚢
